Men In Black Dresses: Ancient Faith & Modern Mercy: A conversation with Islam's most respected visionary
by Yvonne Seng

Six-thirty in the morning is an ungodly hour for a conversation, let alone a conversation with the planet's foremost Muslim cleric about the state of the human soul. As the taxi drags my carcass across the Nile, the cheerful taxi driver attempts small talk about American music and plugs in a cassette of Arab hip-hop to make me feel at home. I'm trying bloody hard to be a morning person.
Let the Light Shine in your Soul
From the Editor | by  Tim Miejan

These are the times that challenge your warrior soul. Each of you is a warrior. You have an unbelievable capacity to get yourself out of difficult situations. While your experiences sometimes seem too daunting, too difficult, too ugly and too much to bear, you were born with the ability to rise from the ashes and fly again. You are the phoenix.

My cat Pearl was a healthy young cat when she began to show recurring flu-like symptoms in spring of 2002. The vet said it was probably nothing serious. After three or four times of being on antibiotics and having some improvement (which was the pattern at this point), Pearl, my sweet kitty, began to have mobility problems.

The Enchanted Self: Part 2
by Barbara Becker Holstein
In my years as a psychologist, I have come to believe that most people seeking psychotherapy are unhappy. This is not only due to earlier hurts and traumas, as well as present frustrations and problems, but because they cannot access earlier happy moments often enough. The unfortunate result is not being able to experience enough positive states of well-being. I have come to label these unique states of well-being THE ENCHANTED SELF.

A Profile of Patricia Searing, Wholistic Touch Therapist, spreading joy in Kansas City
by Janet Lang Smith
Some people know from a very young age what they are meant to do with their lives. A calling, or certain spiritual gift, becomes evident early enough that a path is set and the young person follows. For others, though, their purpose -- the divine mission prescribed to us by a greater power -- takes a bit longer to ascertain. And as Patricia Searing of Kansas City, Mo., will tell you...sometimes it takes a crisis to open our eyes.

Cutting Cholesterol Naturally
by Rita Louise
When most people think of cholesterol, they think of the waxy, fat-like substance that is found in many of the foods we eat. Often feared, the truth is that cholesterol is needed by the body for a number of different things. For example, it is used in the manufacture and maintenance of strong cell walls, it is critical for hormone and vitamin D production and it even is used to coat the nerve cells in the body.
